In this paper, we introduce the notion of a constrained Minkowski sumwhich for two (finite) point-sets P,Q R2 and a set of k inequalities Ax b is defined as the point-set (P Q)Ax b= x = p+q | P, q Q, Ax b. We show that typical subsequ ...
In polyhedral studies of 0/1 polytopes two prominent problems exist. One is the vertex enumeration problem: Given a system of inequalities, enumerate its feasible 0/1 points. Another one is the convex hull problem: Given a set of 0/1 points in dimension d, ...
We present a simple randomized algorithmic framework for connected facility location problems. The basic idea is as follows: We run a black-box approximation algorithm for the unconnected facility location problem, randomly sample the clients, and open the ...
This mapping problem has to be solved in many application scenarios. In the automotive industry, for example, the implementation of car functions involves distributed task sets running on multiple electronic control units (ECU) with bus-based inter-task co ...
We consider an optimization problem arising in the design of controllers for OLED displays. Our objective is to minimize the amplitude of the electrical current flowing through the diodes which has a direct impact on the lifetime of such a display. The opt ...
Let P and Q be finite sets of points in the plane. In this note we consider the largest cardinality of a subset of the Minkowski sum S ⊆ P⊕Q which consist of convex independent points. We show that, if P and Q contain at most n points, then |S| = O(n^(4/3) ...
Abstraction techniques based on simulation relations have become an important and effective proof technique to avoid the infamous state space explosion problem. In the context of Markov chains, strong and weak simulation relations have been proposed ((B. J ...
We present a polynomial time approximation scheme for the real-time scheduling problem with fixed priorities when resource augmentation is allowed. For a fixed ε > 0, our algorithmcomputes an assignment using atmost (1+ε)·OPT +1 processors in polynomial ti ...
